39669.5. The Legislature finds and declares that certain toxic air
contaminants may pose risks that cause infants and children to be
especially susceptible to illness and that certain actions are
necessary to ensure their safety from toxic air contaminants.
(a) By July 1, 2001, the following shall occur:
(1) The office, in consultation with the state board, shall
establish a list of up to five toxic air contaminants identified or
designated by the state board pursuant to Section 39657 that may
cause infants and children to be especially susceptible to illness.
In developing the list, the office shall take into account public
exposures to toxic air contaminants, whether by themselves or
interacting with other toxic air contaminants or criteria pollutants,
and the factors listed in subdivision (c) of Section 39660. The
office shall submit a report containing the list and its reasons for
including the toxic air contaminants on the list to the Scientific
Review Panel on Toxic Air Contaminants established pursuant to
Article 5 (commencing with Section 39670).
(2) The scientific review panel, in a manner consistent with this
chapter, shall review the list of toxic air contaminants submitted by
the office pursuant to paragraph (1). As part of the review, any
person may submit any information for consideration by the panel,
which may receive oral testimony.
(b) (1) Within two years of the establishment of the list required
pursuant to subdivision (a), the state board shall review and, as
appropriate, revise any control measures adopted for the toxic air
contaminants identified on the list, to reduce exposure to those
toxic air contaminants pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section
39665), to protect public health, and particularly infants and
children.
(2) Within three years of the establishment of the list required
pursuant to subdivision (a), for up to five of those toxic air
contaminants for which no control measures have been previously
adopted, the state board shall prepare a report on the need for
regulations, following the procedure specified in Section 39665. The
state board shall adopt within that same three-year timeframe, as
appropriate, any new control measures to reduce exposure to those
toxic air contaminants pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section
39665), to protect public health, particularly infants and children.
(c) Beginning July 1, 2004, the office shall annually evaluate at
least 15 toxic air contaminants identified or designated by the state
board pursuant to Section 39657, and provide threshold exposure
levels and nonthreshold health values, as appropriate, for those
toxic air contaminants. The activities required pursuant to this
subdivision shall continue until all toxic air contaminants are
evaluated. The levels shall be established pursuant to the procedures
adopted for health and risk assessments pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (b) of Section 44360, and taking into account the
factors listed in subdivision (c) of Section 39660. Based on this
evaluation, and after review by the scientific review panel as
prescribed in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), the office shall
update the list established pursuant to subdivision (a), by July 1,
2005, and each year thereafter. Within three years of the initial or
subsequent listing update, for up to five of the toxic air
contaminants contained on that list for which no control measures
have been previously adopted, or for at least five of the toxic air
contaminants if more than five toxic air contaminants have been
identified, the state board shall prepare a report on the need for
regulation, following the procedure specified in Section 39665. The
state board shall adopt within that three-year timeframe, as
appropriate, new control measures, pursuant to Article 4 (commencing
with Section 39665), to reduce exposure to those toxic air
contaminants, to protect public health, and particularly infants and
children.
(d) Toxic air contaminants evaluated and listed pursuant to this
section shall not include substances in those uses that are not
subject to regulation by the state board pursuant to this chapter.
